Detailed explanation-1: -Contents. Sparta was a warrior society in ancient Greece that reached the height of its power after defeating rival city-state Athens in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.). Spartan culture was centered on loyalty to the state and military service.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aristagoras secured military support from Athens and Eretria, and in 498 BC these forces helped to capture and burn the Persian regional capital of Sardis.
Detailed explanation-3: -War reignited decisively around 415 B.C. when Athens received a call to help allies in Sicily against invaders from Syracuse, where an Athenian official defected to Sparta, convincing them that Athens was planning to conquer Italy. Sparta sided with Syracuse and defeated the Athenians in a major sea battle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The treaty stated that Sparta surrendered all of Greece outside the Peloponnese. The Persian king Cyrus the Great had subdued all “Yaunâ” living in Asia (ca. 545), Darius I the Great had conquered Thrace and Macedonia (c. 512), to which king Xerxes had briefly added Thessaly, Boeotia, and Attica in 480-479.
